chinese geography

Water resources in China are unevenly distributed. Generally speaking, the south is rich in water while the north is short of this resource; and the east is rich in water whereas the west lacks it. With the increase of population and rapid economic development, the problem of water shortage in the north is getting even more serious. One solution is to divert water from one drainage area to another, namely, from south to north.

中国的水资源，地区分布不均匀。总的来说南方多，北方少；东部多，西部少。随着人口的增加和经济的发展，北方缺水的情况日益严重，解决这一问题的办法之一就是跨流域调水，­即南水北调。

Nice video from the Confucius Institute. The Chinese have always been building giant Engineering Projects. The Great Wall may have been the most well known, but historical damns, dikes and canals have been vital to the development of China's past golden ages. Hydraulic engineers are looked upon with great awe to China, it's no surprise Hu Jintao's Bachelors was in Hydraulic Engineering.
